   Brett,

  What article was this? I saw one recently pitting the M1 against the
Edelbrock RPM on a carb'd motor; is that the same article or was this a
different one? I'd be interested in reading that article to see what they
have to say, especially if it was the MPI on a Magnum motor.

   FYI: I've got a couple of dyno comparisons up on my web site. There's
not really enough data to draw a complete conclusion, but if nothing else,
it does dismiss the idea that the MPI takes away your low-end. In fact, on
the truck those runs were done on (Bob Tom's) it gave him almost 30lb-ft
over the MPI as low as 1300 RPMs (can't chassis-dyno much lower than that).
